## Reception

Anime News Network's review of the first novel gave it a score of 3/5 stars, stating: "There is a lovely straightforward quality to the writing and the story that lets us know that Kennoji isn't winking and nudging towards any deeper plan, but it really is, on the whole, kind of boring. But it's a pleasant boring, and there's definitely something to be said for that."
Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first episode of the anime a score of 2/5 stars, criticizing it for omitting some details from the novel, but praised the visuals for Noela. She described the series as being "just okay, and mostly it reminds me that I wish it was Kennoji's other title, Hazure Skill, that got the anime series."
